The media uploader automatically sizes down images to 350 pixels in width, and images must be a minimum of 100 x 100 pixels.
All URLs ending in .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, and .png are automatically treated as image placeholders. To place an image inside a wiki page, simply enter the address (URL) of the image you want to include.

When adding links like that, make sure that the image file's extension is NOT capitalised. Otherwise, you'll just get something like

That's how you format images. For information on how to pick which image to add, check out How to Pick a Good Image.

Aw, come on! There's strawberry frosting all over The Troping Code!
